Question

Still no supervision in the French and Spanish forums?

I forgot that threads are extremely short lived in this forum, and the discussion that really began within an unrelated thread, here

Pierre Courtejoie, "Shouldn't these links be removed as soon as possible?" #8, 27 Feb 2005 1:21 pm

has already gone to the Archives, where it is in danger of going to the limbus in the near future.

I still think that this is an important issue, and still wait to see any improvement in those forums showing that the messages by Pierre and myself on the subject have not fallen in a void. Although we both value and thank Neil Keller for his attempts to get some reaction in higher quarters, his attempts have unfortunately been a failure.

It is pathetic to see pages in the forums in Spanish with templates that are written in a mixture of English and a very bad Spanish. It is even more pathetic that JC stopped more than a year ago feeling authorized to introduce any non trivial change to improve this situation. The worst part is however to feel that there is no one listening, or at least willing to admit that there might be problems in those forums.

I feel very disappointed.

    That's a whole step beyond taking simple moderation action, Pierre! There's a whole lot of difference between being a moderator (policeman if you like) and being a host (which at best really means just that - certainly a very proactive role).

    So, someone here does have access to the French speaking forum? I thought nobody had access anymore!
    Then should we point here the threads that should be splitted, moved, etc? Could we have per-application forums, it would be way better to filter what app people have a problem with.
    What about getting an FAQ set up?

    My limited French does indicate that it was inappropriate at least, so it's been set aside.

    So, somebody will be able to delete post 5 in this thread? (the guy demanding to download photoshop for free?)

    Chris,
    >"someone is actually in charge of the forums and we didn't lay off all the poeple who were involved in maintaining the site"

    If I understand that correctly, it's hilariously funny. :) Really.

    It seems I was far too brief in my previous question, so here I go again:

    Is the French and Spanish forums case also a "very special case"?

    And if I may explain my reason for askinkg: I have not seen a single post saying "the matter is been taken care of" or the like. On the contrary, Neil Keller's efforts -the only ones after this discussion started that I know of- have been unsuccessful, according to his own words.

    No, different as in "someone is actually in charge of the forums and we didn't lay off all the poeple who were involved in maintaining the site".

    Differently, as "Different" in Forrest Gump? (speaking about the localized ones...

    There are many threads that would need to be splitted (unrelated questions, etc.)

    No, the forums are handled quite differently.
